Mutual Carers Project, which provides a range of support for older parents with disabled adult sons and daughters. Support is provided to around 25 families per year and includes respite breaks, emergency planning, cookery classes, welfare benefits checks and help with medical appointments.
The chief executive of Bromley Mencap, Eddie Lynch, said: “This award not only recognises the value and quality of our service but also acknowledges the importance of the preventative nature of the work we do. “Our project was the first of its kind in the UK to meet the needs of ageing parents and their disabled sons and daughters whom they previously cared for, and who have now become their carers.
A LOCAL charity picked up a prestigious award last week.
Bromley Mencap, which supports disabled people and their families and carers, won the 2011 Guardian Public Services Award for Carers, Families and Communities at a ceremony held at the Intercontinental Hotel, London. The event was hosted by the presenter and journalist Nicky Campbell. Judges were impressed with the charity’s
“It is wonderful to see what started as a tiny innovative pilot, which is now a successful service meeting a genuine need, being recognised in this way.”
